Forty one units have an interior parking and well obviously here for work within the McCain place and maverick street public ways that work includes repair replacement of sidewalk, some expansion of sidewalk and a empty bus stop, a bump in the sidewalk adding bike storage to a bike storage new street trees. I was so comfortable with this action just pedestrian easement. >> Yeah, yes. And here it is.

We've dealt a major blow to the civil engineers and landscape architects for the project and it is for sidewalk improvements on the place and a maverick street the blue is the work within the public right of way and within that pedestrian easement that we just discussed primarily in Mr. Jones, I'm sorry to hear you. Could you just speak a little louder please? Just a little bit better?  >> Yes. OK, so a blue indicates the repair or replacement of the concrete sidewalk within market place and maverick street.  It's within public right of way or that pedestrian easement that we just discussed.  >> It's at least six and a half wide plus the strip of decorative pavers permeable pavers to facilitate the health and growth of the street that we're replacing. We also are adding a bump out on Maverick Street to facility a new bus stop with space around it obviously for loading and then reconstructing some ADA ramps and restriking crosswalks, adding bike racks as I mentioned previously. So basically repair and replacement and the enhancement of what's there I think questions if there are any are we can get into specifics,  questions or comments by commission members? >> Yes. Madam Chair, this is Patricia.  Thank you for your presentation. Mr. Jones. I have a question on the West Side on the crossing on the west side it's impossible to do a straight forward design, a perpendicular cut to meet the Kaputt on the right side of the crossing on the street.  >> You're talking about this right here. Yes. Yes. Instead of making it the curvy blended transition is impossible to do either erased crossing or a perpendicular crewcut it that's probably so we can look into but we do have to curb transitions come down. So you do end up with a level area is the curved area.  I'm not sure we could accommodate that.  I know what you're saying but I don't think the geometry would work there fit within the public with you raise it, you wouldn't have it. It wouldn't be you wouldn't have that same issue. No, I understand that upraising obviously creates other issues with warm water following and so forth.  The issue with this configuration is that you know how you have the curve detectable warning strips.  So that might mean that might give a constituent the impression that there is a crossing on the on the other side. So if we can rework to have the tactile only perpendicular to McCay place, would that be acceptable if you can make the geometry work? Yes OK then we'll do that OK we're happy to have a conversation.  Thank you. I'm during work on the other side is getting you very close to what I believe our existing trees so we would ask that you work with the Parks Department and adequate protection Plan for your work this area here? >> Well I think it's further down that you're retaining the right so there's just this one large ash tree.  Yeah. That exists and is being retained in some special measures being taken place to protect that. I know the roots are kind of up into the sidewalk and he moved it so we're going to be using a resin found aggregate sidewalk in that area to I think we just want to we just want that to be coordinated with the Parks Department, make sure that that's their right consistent with how they do things. Yes. no question. >> Oh, sorry. We received an inquiry from the Parks Department about this project and that is specifically and they were concerned that adequate tree protection measures were not in place currently. So we really want to stress to the project team that that needs to be taken seriously and that you should be working with Max for Diamond at the Parks Department on those details that any other kinds of questions?  Staffer Public I'll say all right. I will entertain emotion and public hearing item number four contingent upon a redesign of the ramp to the satisfaction of the Commission to persons with disabilities and a tree protection plan to the satisfaction Parks Department for private petition by New York Police mostly for the making of specific repairs we take place involving St. Intentional the the ramp and the tree protection.

This is the section that's been abandoned is basically just sort of it's a gravel covered parking lot that doesn't bring much to the neighborhood or proposing here with the once the abandonment is approved it screws up the parcel the service, the parking lot in the driveway or a proposed residential building that will consist of twenty one units, four stories of artists ,loft condominium housing move along.  Here's the view itself. So this is the outline and ready to parcel that building will be constructed out. I want to go with the state proposed abandonment area. It's about a seventy six linear feet of private way consisting of about three thousand square thirty feet of air each minute that goes through the site which is impetuses approve this request. There's also another source of all that will be maintained source resourceful here that will be used as part of development and resources also has this proposal so in the title has been all worked out as far as I understand.

So the existing site is mostly premising see its surface parking buildings that the previous auto center this is all being demolished for a new residential building to be five storeys.  One hundred and twenty four units in job service parking through about eighty five vehicles cannibalizes down the street just for this particular position is the easement.  I'm going to zoom in. We're just adding as you can see about it to me for a while he's been here and this is so we can have a six foot wide cement concrete sidewalk path travel here and still provide a furnishing zone reasonably this and here you'll see the specific repairs as we are realizing this trip here to be perpendicular to the Belgrade to provide the pedestrian easement in the room for furniture and so on. So there was no questions on this at the new business but I certainly haven't obviously as a comments now or passenger cars misremembers, he said public we're all set on the easement. I'll take your Annamarie.

These bridges will actually be flushed and they'll take out from this sidewalk. They're also closing or the small curb has allowed me to have those of you closed no,  that's in Belgrade. Would you modify an existing term on anyone that will better access and the eighty five parking spots underneath the building here?  One of the victims came up last week that a positive thing actually was taking up this intersection. I worked closely with Boston Transportation Department in Boston playing a on several iterations and we had come to this final solution this Lagny this crossing is kind of sixty our down to twenty two is one. Here's seventy seven thousand forty feet Boston we're teeing up these intersections as we heard in the new business, a lot of people fly here because this is a wide open intersection today as mentioned here because I'm moving the sidewalk and Belgrad out the roadway with here shrinks by about six feet and I seven fifty to forty four feet or something. We're also getting this pedestrian refuge median and I was mentioning the last meeting with more parking to start and the reason for that is that the average extra with you know, people traveling everywhere will have signed this disability has changed since new business was the warnings in the medium to those managed in this medium that I needed this direction to allow that turns into our site but we also extended this site mediant even further slow down the left turned and want to happen.
